I know this is a history course, and I know that the economy is the most important issue happening in our world today, but how many times can I write on this topic speaking about the same thing every week? This article pretty much sums up what we could all see coming. Politicians will end up making the major decisions on where the money goes, and we all know they have everyone's best wishes in heart when making decisions. Give me a break already, this is going to turn into so many lawsuits and feuds that most of the money will probably end up getting lost in the system before it makes it to any job sites. Good job politicians in Washington...
Let's not forget the fact that putting all of this money in the system will only lower our worth as a nation. How much is our dollar compared to the euro these days? With all due respect, this plan will not follow a golden path to success. Money is the root of all evil and we just put a lot of it in the wrong hands. States will battle states and local leaders will be fighting with those around them when what we really need is less greed and more action. There are too many unanswered questions and a lot that ticks me off about this entire thing. Like the fact that some places won't get funding for vital programs because they are not as advanced as other states. Take for instance the alternative energy crisis, the idea of not giving money to certain states will only widen the gap between them and everyone else, pushing them further down the wrong path.
Excuse me for saying this, but I realize I probably sound like an ass in this blog but it infuriates me to no end. The Baby Boom generation is going to wreck Social Security and now my generation and those a few years ahead of me are going to plunge this nation into a darker hole for those coming after us. We push these grand ideals and put a pretty face on the fact that it isn't such an easy road to take. Look where we are these days, the nation is getting worse and I am sorry Mr. President but I don't think America will see the benefits of the stimulus within a few weeks; except for the all-out brawl that is about to take place between the money-grubbers.
